Similar to how we approached Early Access with the original, following our Hades II Early Access launch, we'll have several Major Updates adding the rest of the game's core content and refining what's there based on player feedback. We believe the timeframe we're planning for will be the 'sweet spot' where the game is far enough along that player feedback won't mostly consist of stuff we already know isn't there yet, but isn't so far along that it's too late in development for us to act on the feedback we receive.

We've approached development of Hades II knowing Early Access will be no less important this time, though now knowing a bit more of what to expect from Early Access development, as well as more about what a Hades game needs to be. We'll announce more details about the Hades II Technical Test closer to when it's ready.Įarly Access was vitally important to the entire idea behind the original Hades - we decided it would be an Early Access game before deciding literally anything else about it, such as the Underworld setting. To that end, this technical test will contain much less content than what's in store for the Early Access launch, and likely be limited only to a relatively small subset of players who express interest in participating. The purpose of this test will be to find and solve any technical or compatibility issues we might have missed, to ensure anyone who tries Hades II in Early Access can have a smooth play experience. Prior to That: The Hades II Technical TestĪlso in Q2 2024, shortly before we launch in Early Access, we're going to run a technical test with a limited sample of players.
